Most of the countries of the world have a street food culture and their people love food, But it's very different in Poland.
Thanks for those few foreign restaurants and foods like kebab, otherwise there's no love food among Poles.
I have been living here for 3 years now and i feel like i haven't eat anything in these 3 years...i am so hungry!!!!

For half the year it's too cold and in any case street food is a city thing and cultural continuity in the cities was harmed by the last war and years of problems afterwards. Nevertheless, there is Polish street food - zapiekanki for instance.

Yes, I like zapiekanki. I also like kurczak z rozna but it isn't halal so it wouldn't suit op's needs

All of those videos are from the Far East. I don't think it's only Poland but pretty much all of Europe that doesn't have this kind of street food culture. America and Canada don't either except for what was brought from Mexico and Asia. That being said, Poland does have some, Kielbasa in the rynek, oscypek, pączki, maybe not as fancy and exotic as Asian foods but pretty decent on a cold Winter's day.

actually it is a really stupid question - northern ~European countries do not have much of a street food culture for obvious reasons/
In London you used to be able to buy hot chestnuts from a person with a brazier all fired up but health and safety put a stop to that,

One of the reasons is that to 'practice' food culture in Poland one needs a permit (to prove the food is stored in proper way etc.). It may not be worth dealing with it for individual merchants.

LOL junk food is everywhere in Poland, I cannot believe it. Its hard to walk 100m without being able to buy a hotdog or zapienki.

Whatever you do, dont move to Ukraine, there is almost nothinfnto buy on the streets

Yea, that's true in every town/city centre.
